5 Important Things To Remember This Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is around the corner, and everywhere you look you'll see pink, purple and red hearts, oversized stuffed animals and chocolate. Though the holiday does provide for sweet discounts afterwards, the weeks leading up to (and the day itself) are surrounded by mushy gushy acts of love that many people don't want to see. So, nonetheless, here is a list of important things to remember, no matter your relationship status this Valentine's Day season.

1. You are beautiful.

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14

Your happiness should not be defined by your relationship status; you are a beautiful person and just because you're not with someone right now does not mean otherwise.

2. Valentine's Day is just like any other day.

Though many couples will use it as an excuse to show off their relationship, really, Valentine's Day is just like any other day. There's nothing that innately makes it more Valentine's-y than any other Tuesday.

3. Tell your loved ones that you love them.

Though the holiday focuses on romantic relationships, don't pass up the opportunity to tell the other people in your life that you care about them. Text your mom, your friends, your cousins and tell them that you care about them.

4. Remember who you're talking to.

Some are specifically pointed to say that they don't like Valentine's Day, which is completely fine. But you never know who is excited to spend the day with his/her first Valentine. This season, let's remember to spread love, not hate.

5. Show lots of love...but you should do that every day.

Ultimately, Valentine's Day isn't the only day to show love -- it is a mere reminder of the love we need to demonstrate every single day.

Remember these things as you go throughout your day this Valentine's Day!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
